Iwantsaw, I did buy this saw, and I agree that it is convenient for lookers to see a “sold” indicator. I intend to use it on 9/28/13 in a craft show. I upgraded the blade holders with new metal to preserve the original cast ones, one of which had threads about to strip out. I added a new leather belt and re-bent the rear leg brace to its original form (as close as I could get) to allow some belt tension adjustment. I also added a thin HDPE strip in the eccentric slot to wipe out excessive slop. Otherwise it was in first class condition. Depending on the outcome of the show, I may put this up for sale or trade again. Stay tuned to the tool swap thread or PM me after 9/28.DanK
